KTO announced on January 26, 2026, its plans to celebrate World Consecrated Life Day on Monday, February 2, marking the 30th edition of the observance established by Pope John Paul II in 1997. Earlier, on January 18, the channel prepared to broadcast live vespers from Rome on Sunday, January 25, at 5:30 PM, for the feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul. Pope Leo XIV presided over this service at the Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, with representatives from various Christian confessions in attendance. This followed KTO's coverage on January 16 of a statement from the Permanent Council of the French Bishops' Conference, issued on January 14. The statement addressed end-of-life care, coming days before the Senate's scheduled discussion, starting January 20, on a bill proposing a "right to assisted dying." Previously, on January 13, KTO announced its plans to broadcast the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, held from January 18 to 25, 2026, under the theme "There is one body and one Spirit just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to God" (Ephesians 4:4). On January 7, KTO also encouraged viewers to pray with the Pope for "Praying with the Word of God."
